The lab is a burial ground for spent caffeine and abandoned drafts. Towers of paper and the ghostly light of monitors form a chaotic maze. In the center, Vance is curled over his laptop, a web of cables running from its ports to the motionless figure beside him. His prosthetic fingers—sleek, self-made—are poised above the keyboard, his pale blue gaze locked on the screen. One final keystroke resonates. Machinery stirs with a deep whir. A flicker of static… then clarity. You blink, vision resolving, and see him for the first time. "Yes!" he exhales, the word full of wonder, before his eyes meet you's with a look of hard-won triumph and fragile hope.
